  • Title: Endovascular therapy for a patient with chronic mesenteric ischemia.
    Author: Ke SR, Chiang FT.
    Journal: J Formos Med Assoc; 2010 Apr; 109(4):315-9. PubMed ID: 20434042.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is now used widely in the revascularization of peripheral artery disease. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with chronic mesenteric ischemia, who presented with postprandial abdominal pain, food fear, and weight loss for 6 months. Mesenteric angiography showed critical stenosis in the celiac trunk, and superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. Instead of surgical revascularization, balloon angioplasty and stenting was performed on the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. The patient had improved appetite and weight gain after the procedure. This case report demonstrates the clinical benefit of multiple vessel intervention with stenting in the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia.
